Well, I know Dave and can say from my personal experience this issue about kids I really think has been taken out of context... Dave is indeed very passionate about modelling in general, as well as a life long modeller well known for 'NOT' being very subtle when voicing his various views on modelling. If anyone of any age ever meets Dave Platt at a scale meet or jet meet and strikes up conversation about 'any' model related topics you will be hardpressed to find a more enthusiastic, passionate, informative and helpful guy...
What goes around comes around, by encouraging and supporting our young kids into the hobby its future is assured... simple really!
just my 2c worth of course
